RE: center a table in a presentation

Hi Pamela

Thanks for your question.

Yes, there is a way of centring a table on a slide without manually adjusting the table's position yourself, but it is a bit long-winded.

What you need to do is:
1. Click on the outside of the table to select the whole table.
2. Go to the Draw button on the drawing toolbar and select Ungroup.
3. Then go to the Draw button on the drawing toolbar and select Group.
4. Then go to Draw - Align and Distribute and select the Relative to slide option.
5. Then go to Draw - Align and Distribute again and select Align Centre.

Give it a go and let us know if this works for you or not.

thanks
Amanda

Failing this, you can turn the grid on (View -> Grids and Guides...), then use that to help you centre the table.

PowerPoint tip:

Slide numbers in PowerPoint

Slide numbers can be applied in PowerPoint by going to View-Header and footer, then ticking the slide number box.

You can also choose the Don't show on title slide option so that slide numbers do not show on any title layout slides in the presentation.

If this option is ticked and the first slide is a title layout slide, this will mean slide 2 will be numbered as 2 rather than 1.

To change this and start slide numbering at 1 on the second slide, go to File - Page Setup and change the Number slide from: option to 0. Click OK.
